lately i've seen that post going around with the comic of a lesbian couple waking each other up where someone replies with a screenshot of another comic trying to claim op is homophobic. this was because the comment featured talk about asexuals and this comment was made in the height of the ace discourse.

someone else replied to that comment trying to explain that "in the ace discourse, asexual identities themselves were seen as homophobic and that's what the commenter is saying!" i don't really agree with that, at least in this instance, because i think the poster's real problem is with the word "allosexual"

back when ace discourse was in vogue, a big talking point was how the word "allosexual" to describe non-asexual people was problematic. i even saw people refer to it as a slur. this was because it "groups us [gay men, lesbians, "real" queer people] in with our oppressors." never mind that sexualities already group the oppressed with oppressors: race, disability, socioeconomic status, etc. are all grouped under the same label. but this apparently was "different"?.

i think the main problem people had with allosexual is that they thought that it painted queer people as sex obsessed, when in reality it is a neutral descriptor, like cisgender. it just means you experience sexual attraction.

honestly, i still avoid using the word and cringe whenever i see it because i worry people are still going to be upset about it. it's just another way the ace discourse has had lasting affects on asexuals. it destroyed communities, destroyed the language we used to talk about our identities, destroyed in-jokes and memes, and destroyed a lot of asexuals' pride in their identities. all this was by design - the goal was to make asexuals ashamed of their identity so they would shut up about it.

i'm glad we've seem to have moved past that portion of our history, for the most part. at least all the popular blogs aren't making fun of us anymore. i hope we can use the term "allosexual" again because it's a useful descriptor.

#i was deep in the trenches of the discourse #not that i made lots of posts i just would frequent the tag and look at all the talking points #and it was painful #a lot of the really popular bloggers at the time were extremely hateful towards us #and even if they weren't downright hateful they made fun of us #for having silly memes like... liking cake #or dragons #or just for being asexual #like it was inherently 'cringey'#and this felt like majority opinion on the site!#everyone would reblog these 'jokes' which just made it easier to dehumanize us #because we're embarrassing and cringe #so it's easy to say these people don't deserve respect in their identity because our identity was turned into a joke #i have lasting scars from the discourse #even that feels embarrassing to say when in reality it was a hate campaign against an entire sexuality!#of course it's gonna have lasting effects on those with that identity!#anyway #i'm glad we've seemed to move past this #but i'm not gonna forgive all of yall who were complicit #just because it was funny or 'just a joke'#it wasn't just a joke

Xenophilia. Means attraction to non-human sentient life forms.

Blake is not human she is non-human.

Blake is self aware meaning she is a sentient life form.

All blake ships are xeno

Also Blake is just hella cool.

Azeroth has so many world ending catastrophes I'm surprised the Winchesters aren't involved.

archiloquies

I am so terribly curious what, precisely, that is supposed to mean.

Are you? Well, you know what they say about curiosity and cats.

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

Extremely belated postscript that should have been here far earlier:

Free Palestine, Free Sudan, Free Congo 🇵🇸🇸🇩🇨🇩

#lunar new year #happy year of the wood dragon
